Presentation edition – the fine print

[Updated 5 March 2015]

The presentation edition of Singing the Faith has been published by Hymns Ancient and Modern and produced with ease of use in mind. It is lighter and easier to hold than the Music edition already published and is similar in look and feel to the presentation edition of Hymns & Psalms.

The book is printed on fine, Bible paper with gilded page edges and features a flexible, red leatherette cover, a ribbon marker and head and tail bands.

1,904pp
Page size: 216 x 143mm (same as current Music Edition)
Spine width: 39mm (cf. current Music Edition – 55mm)
Page weight: 28 gsm – the same as for the Hymns & Psalms presentation edition
Total book weight: 830g

The presentation edition has incorporated all amendments noted since the publication of the Music Edition, first print run.

Hi Kunnuji – thanks for being in touch. Can you perhaps clarify your question? The presentation edition contains the exact same content as the normal music edition, but the book itself is lighter and more attractive – as detailed on this page.

Having just received a presentation music edition of Singing The Faith we are extremely disappointed to find that it is so much bigger and heavier than our presentation edition of Hymns and Psalms. It is quite simply too big to carry to church! Why have you made it so big?

Hi David – I’m sorry you’re disappointed with the presentation edition. We did publish the spec on StF+ (http://www.singingthefaithplus.org.uk/?page_id=9545) but the book was large in the first place and any presentation edition was always going to be quite sizeable however thin the paper (which is the same weight as that used in the Hymns & Psalm presentation edition).
